Pasilla

Earthy • Fruity • Mild Heat

A Traditional Mexican Chile

Pasilla chiles are known for their deep brown to nearly black color and rich, complex flavor. When processed into paste or puree, pasilla delivers mild heat with layered notes of dried fruit, raisin, cocoa, and subtle earthiness.

Pasilla paste and puree are valued for their depth of flavor and dark color contribution, making them ideal for building complexity in sauces and savory formulations. Their smooth texture allows for easy incorporation across a wide range of applications where nuanced chile flavor is desired.
